2013 CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
The Rohlf Medal
The Rohlf Medal was established in 2006 by his family and friends to
mark the 70th birthday of F. James Rohlf, Distinguished Professor of
Ecology and Evolution and longtime Stony Brook University faculty
member. Recipients of the Rohlf Medal will be recognized for excellence
in their body of work on the development of new morphometric methods or
for their applications in the biomedical sciences, including
evolutionary biology, population biology, physical anthropology, and
medicine. The term “morphometrics” is intended to include
high-dimensional pattern analyses of biological shape, especially those
that analyze shape in a comprehensive way, or of covariation of shape
patterns with other variables. The award can recognize advances in the
mathematical or statistical theory underlying morphometric methods, new
software that implements or visualizes new methods, or specific new
biological findings that rely crucially on contemporary morphometric
methods and represent major advances.
Candidates for the Rohlf Medal may be self-nominated or nominated by
others. They must have attained the postdoctoral level or its
equivalent. Nomination packages should include (1) a description of the
body of work (not to exceed two pages) on which the candidacy is based,
(2) reprints of no more than three relevant papers and/or software
products, (3) a curriculum vitae, and (4) the names and addresses of
three referees. Nominating packages should be uploaded to the Rohlf
Medal website (http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/ee/rohlf_medal/apply.html) and
received by 15 August 2013 to be assured of full consideration.
The successful candidate will receive the Rohlf Medal and a cash prize
at Stony Brook University in mid-Fall 2013 (final date to be
determined). She or he will deliver a lecture that is appropriate for an
educated general audience concerning the morphometric research for which
the Rohlf Medal was awarded.
